Students spend the summer at either Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons or Horn Point Laboratory in Cambridge, both part of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. Students will work closely with a mentor on a research project of key importance for understanding and managing the Chesapeake Bay. The 12-week fellowship provides a $6,000 stipend, dormitory costs, and travel expenses. In addition to a strong introduction to research, our program features a week-long orientation to marine science and seminars through the summer that focus on writing, oral presentations, alternative careers and ethics.
